There is plenty of spare capacity for oil.

The whole situation would blow over in less time than you could imagine - PROVIDED no one comes to Iran's assistance or bolster their supplies.

The EXPECTATION, is that Israel will NOT attack oil infrastructure, to avoid irritating their allies - opting instead to focus on refining & products to have a more direct effect on only the Iranian economy.

The EXPECTATION, is that Israel will NOT hit anything (including nuclear facilities), this side of the US election.

Therefore, I don't think it is unreasonable to suggest that the OPPOSITE might happen for both, and much sooner.

The real problems would begin, IF, one of our enemies saw an escalation in the Middle East as an opportunity in some other part of the world whilst we were all distracted?

What will happen if Iran, with the Houthis help, closes the Straits of Hormuz, and no oil tankers can pass?

Won't there be quite some shortages, and prices will rise a lot?

Yeah.. Iran is the problem. Russia is the problem and China! Classic.

What if Iran will strike back also hard? Hormuz is not far. American troops all over the ME...

The problem in the middle East has its roots with the British, the balfour declaration; if the brits did not take the bribe from the zionist to forgive their debt, middle east would not have these trouble for the last 76 years. What right does the British has to give away other's lands?

America interest is not the world interest for peace, in fact America started more wars than the rest of the world combined. What business does the america force has in the far east, middles east, south america.....?

Iran is the not one bombing all its neighbours with a greater iran in mind, iran did not colonize other people's lands in middle east. Iran certainly did not receive 260 billions from american tax money for weapon of mass destruction. Last time America accused iraq having the weapons it turned out to be a zero but in the process they killed a million innocent civilians.

Trump's words is 100% influenced by his hundreds of millions political contribution from zionist; or perhaps he is genius to elimiate israel once for all?

Thank you for the insights. Trump is the only one who has any gumption and conviction to deal with the crises, Middle East and at home. Good luck to Americans to make the right choice next month.
